Timeline
Richard Sheldon Palais (born May 22, 1931) is an American mathematician working in differential geometry.
Palais studied at Harvard University, where he obtained a BA in 1952, a MA in 1954 and a Ph.D. in 1956.
His PhD thesis, entitled A Global Formulation of the Lie Theory of Transformation Groups, was supervised by Andrew M. Gleason and George Mackey.
Palais was a postdoctoral researcher at University of Chicago from 1956 to 1958 and at the Institute for Advanced Study from 1958 to 1960.
He moved then to Brandeis University, where he worked as assistant professor in 1960-1962, as associated professor in 1962-1965 and as full professor from 1965 until his retirement in 2003.
Palais was awarded a Sloan Fellowship in 1965.
From 1965 to 1982 he was an editor for the Journal of Differential Geometry and from 1966 to 1969 an editor for the Transactions of the American Mathematical Society.
In 1970, he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Nice.
In 1979 he co-found the TeX Users Group and become its first president.
In 1980, Palais was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and in 2012 a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
Since the 1990s he works on the theory of solitons and mathematical visualization.

From 2004 he is adjunct professor at the University of California, Irvine.
In 2006 he was awarded the first prize, together with Luc Bénard, for the NSF/Science Visualization Challenge and in 2010 he received a Lester R. Ford Award.
Palais' research interests include differential geometry, the theory of compact differentiable groups of transformations, the geometry of submanifolds, Morse theory and non-linear global analysis.
In particular, he is known for the principle of symmetric criticality, the Mostow–Palais theorem, the Lie–Palais theorem, the Morse–Palais lemma, and the Palais–Smale compactness condition.
